Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted that he has been concerned about Arsenal for several seasons now.
Guardiola’s team has been the dominant side in the Premier League, winning five of the last six titles.
Arsenal have come close in the last two season but had to settle for second place finish on both occasions.
Many believe that no club in England is currently as good as City, but Guardiola is still wary of Arsenal’s potential.
The Spaniard even watched the Gunners’ latest friendly match against Bayer Leverkusen which they won 4-1 and acknowledged that they are performing well.
“Of course. I have been concerned for many years (with) how good they are because every year they are getting better,” Guardiola was quoted by Optus Sport.
“I see Arsenal playing at the same level as last season; I saw their game against Leverkusen. They are on fire. Every year it looks like they are more and more difficult.”
Meanwhile, City began the new campaign by beating Manchester United 7-6 on penalties in the Community Shield after 90 minutes of football ended 1-1.
